San Antonio Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Medical Malpractice Representation in San Antonio

Bexar County, and the largest concentration of hospital medicine between Houston and the border.

Much of the city's hospital care sits inside one district on the north-west side, where the Methodist and Baptist systems and University Hospital — the county's public teaching hospital — operate within a few miles of each other. That concentration pulls patients in from well beyond Bexar County, across South and West Texas. It also means a single episode of care can involve a hospital, a physician group contracted to work inside it, and a smaller facility hours away that sent the patient in. Those are three different record-keepers, and in a malpractice case they are three different accounts of what was known and when.

San Antonio has no shortage of injury firms. Medical malpractice is a narrower practice than personal injury: it turns on hospital records, on physicians willing to review another physician's work, and on Texas procedural requirements that end a case early when they are missed. We are 197 miles east, which is a morning's drive. Where a firm keeps its office matters far less to a San Antonio case than whether it does this work often enough to run it properly.
